摘要:
For avoiding error propagation as a result of decision feedback equalization, the data to be transmitted are coded with a coder 2 which has a transfer function substantially inverse to the transfer function of the channel 4. Consequently, instantaneous decisions about the received symbol may be made at the receiver 6 without intersymbol interference causing a disturbance. If the channel transfer function differs from the transfer function of the precoder 2, intersymbol interference will again occur, so that the symbol error rate will increase. In order to restrict this increase of the symbol error rate as much as possible, the receiver comprises a cascaded circuit of an adaptive filter 18 which has an inverse transfer function to that of the channel and a decoder 21 which has an inverse transfer function to that of the precoder 2.

A receiver for transmitted signals which represent digital symbol values includes a low-pass filter to minimize transmission noise by reducing the receiver bandwidth. However, this creates pulse distortion which can cause intersymbol interference when the filtered signal is supplied to a symbol detector. Such interference is minimized by the inclusion of a feedback loop between the output of the symbol detector and the input to the filter, in which a detected symbol is multiplied by correction factor and supplied to a subtractor where it is subtracted from the signal to be filtered. The result of the subtraction is supplied to the filter. The noise reduction filter is thus also used for matching the intersymbol distortion characteristic of a filtered detected symbol to the intersymbol distortion characteristic of a filtered received signal pulse.

In a digital symbol receiver it is necessary to generate a clock signal with a correct frequency and phase, so that decisions a.sub.k about the value of transmitted symbols a.sub.k can be made at the right detection instants. A simple method of obtaining the desired clock signal is to adjust a VCO by means of a control signal obtained from the correlation of a detection signal r(t) with the detected symbols a.sub.k filtered by a symbol filter. The symbol filter may comprise a cascade connection of a differentiator and a filter which has a transfer function which is an estimate of the transfer function of a channel which supplies the transmitted symbols.

摘要:
Non-linear intersymbol interference and noise in a received data signal are corrected through use of a Viterbi detector which estimates the most likely sequence of transmitted data symbols by keeping track of candidate data sequence that are recursively updated, based on likelihood measures which are determined by a signal processor which includes circuits for estimating hypothesized channel outputs in the absence of noise. Non-linear input-output relations are stored in one or more look-up tables which, in a preferred embodiment, are registers that store hypothesized channel output symbols in the absence of noise. The contents of the look-up tables may be modified in response to an error signal representative of the difference of the channel output signal and the look-up table output signal.
摘要:
A method and a device in which information is written on a medium and is read out, and which establishes whether the information read is sufficiently reliable, and in which so-called erasure information is used to establish the influence of media defects and other imperfections on the occurrence of errors in a transmission system. The medium is, for example, a hard disk containing one or more bad spots whose location can be accurately detected. The implementation of the method makes accurate and fast computation of the bit error rate possible.
摘要:
In a digital transmission system including a transmitter (2) coupled via a channel (4) to a receiver (6) a detection signal r.sub.k is compared with a number of reference values to determine the destination symbols a.sub.k. Since the size of the received signal r.sub.k is not known in advance, the ratio between the detection signal and the reference values is to be determined by an adapting circuit (16) on the basis of the received signal and the decisions made. The problem may then occur that as a result of an initially erroneous value of the ratio between detection signal and reference values not a correct adaptation is made. By recognizing such a situation because specific values of the symbols a.sub.k are lacking, in such a situation said ratio can be brought to such a value by the correction circuit (18) that all the values of a.sub.k again occur.

摘要:
In a data receiver (6) a detection means (10) is used for determining a symbol value from the received signal. For reducing the effect of cyclostationary noise signals, a number of simultaneously operating detectors (12, 14) are used which derive a sequence of symbols from the input signal sampled at different instants. On the basis of a reliability measure simultaneously derived by the detectors, the symbol sequence whose associated reliability measure expresses the greatest reliability is conveyed to the output of the receiver with the aid of selection means.
摘要:
For reducing the complexity of adaptive systems such as equalizers, echo cancellers and clock recovery systems, errors are often determined only once per n samples, where n is an integer. If the input signal of such an adaptive system comprises cyclostationary components, it may occur that the adaptive system does not converge to a desired value. By selecting n in such a way that the greatest common divisor of n and the cyclostationary period m of the input signal is equal to 1, convergence of the adaptive system is ensured.
摘要:
A system for transmitting an n-level data signal (d.sub.k) at a given symbol rate 1/T comprises a data transmitter (1), a transmission channel (2) and a data receiver (3) with an equalizer (30) of the decision feedback type. By arranging this equalizer (30) for forming an estimate (c.sub.k) of a virtual m-level data signal (c.sub.k) instead of the output signal (b.sub.k) of the data transmitter (1) error propagation in the equalizer (30) is considerably reduced without thereby appreciably adding to the implementation-complexity of the system.
摘要:
A device for write precompensation of data signals to be recorded on a magnetic medium, which device has an input for receiving input data signals and an output for supplying output signals to be recorded, an integrator/limiter circuit which receives the input data signals and which supplies an output signal which is in synchronism with the data signal and whose amplitude varies substantially linearly as a function of time at positions where a signal transition appears in the data signal, which amplitude is limited within a data symbol interval; an adjustable filter which receives the input signals and supplies an output signal whose instantaneous values depend on the pattern of preceding and future signal transitions in the data signal; and a comparator circuit which through comparison of the output signal of the integrator/limiter circuit and the output signal of the filter produces the output signal in which at least some signal transitions of the input data signal can be shifted in time. An important aspect of the present invention is that with the output signal dt an arbitrary number of desired time shifts can be obtained rather than that, as in the prior art, only a choice can be made from a limited number of delay values.
